Autologous EBV B cells (2 × 105) were incubated with peptides for 2 h, followed by incubation with 2 × 104 C6 or C7 T cells, and IFN-γ release was determined 18–24 h later. Target cells were incubated with the following peptides, with the amino acid positions indicated in parentheses, from either TRP-2, QB1-ALPYWNFATGRRNECDVCTDQ (241–260), GC1-LQR LIGNESFALPYWNFATG (231–250), A1-ALPYWNFATGRNECDV (241–256), E1-NESFALPWNFATG (237–250), F4-AL PYWNFATG (241–250), or TPR-1, B1-SLPYWNFATGKNVCDI (245–254) and E4-SLPYWNFATG (245–254).
